Description

We have for sale a rather lovely early Keswick School of Industrial Art silver on copper caddy spoon dating to around 1900.

This striking silver on copper caddy spoon is of a vert tactile form consisting of beautifully planished bowl extending to an equally beautifully planished curved fish tail handle further patterned to its edge with simulated rivet punches. The spoon has a lovely patina, having just sufficient wear to allow the copper colouration to show through at the tips of some of the imitation rivets of the handle. The underside of the bowl is marked with the original Keswick KSIA mark dating it to somewhere around 1890-1910.

The caddy spoon is approximately 2.6 inches (6.5cm) long and is in a very good antique condition.
